Overview

Description Simplify sewing lace! Let School of Sewing founder Alison Smith be your guide as you discover how to sew lace for daywear or special occasions with techniques to perfectly prep, layer, place, shape and seam your project. Whether your fabric is a guipure, Chantilly, beaded or eyelash lace, you’ll get tips for sewing each with confidence. Then, find underlinings to match your lace and pattern perfectly and review seam finishes suited for everyday lace garments. Give your lace couture appeal by constructing a bodice with nearly invisible princess seams. Plus, learn to cut and shape a free-hanging and a full lace bodice overlay. Alison makes adding the finishing touches to your projects easy, as she shows how to sew zippers, decorate with lace borders and use purchased or self-made appliqués.
